Adelaide? (1848)

Scale: 1:96. An Office Copy of a plan showing the sail plan for Adelaide (1848), a 72ft Admiralty paddle Tug for the Colonial Government of South Australia. The plan illustrates the intended rig (in ticked lines) for the passage out, and other alterations (in pencil). The identify of the vessel as Adelaide is tentative, as it seems that only one sea-going paddle tug was built for the Colonial Government of South Australia.

Signed by J. Edye [Assistant to Surveyor of the Navy].
